Ballabha Bhabane Gaura Rāya
Kāmoda-rāga
Lord Gaura Rāya arrives at Vallabha Acārya's house. Now Vallabha Acārya is filled with bliss.
Now joyful Vallabha Acārya performs the auspicious wedding ceremony.
His heart filled with the nectar of happiness, Lord Viśvambhara stands under the wedding-canopy on the veranda.
The graceful motions of His limbs steal away everyone's life-breath. The effgulgence of His form fills the ten directions with light.
What metaphors or similes can describe His moonlike face? His gentle smile destroys the pride of nectar.
His eyes cast graceful glances. None who see Him can remain peaceful.
Shark-shaped earrings decorate His ears. Who would not be overcome by seeing His graceful curly hair?
He is gracefully decorated with bracelets and armlets. How many Kāmadevas become ashamed when they see Him?
Seeing that the bridegroom has come, the bride's mother comes with seven maidservants.
Who has the power to describe Lord Gaura's handsomeness? Seven lamps in her hand, the bride's mother sven times circumambulates Lord Gaura.
She performs the ritual of welcoming the bridegroom, and they all enter the house.
Fortunate Vallabha Acārya now brings his daughter for the wedding ceremony.
He has her sit on the splendid throne. Her body is effulgent.
Her body is soft and delicate. Her smiling face defeats the full moon.
Her garments are colorful and wonderful. Her multi-jeweled ornaments glisten.
Performing many rityals, Vallabha Acārya offers his beautiful daughter to Śacī's son.
The brāhmaṇas chant the Vedas. The beautiful girls make sounds of "Ulu-lulu!"
Musical instruments are sounded in many different ways. Dancers dance. Poets recite poems.
From their airplanes the demigods shower flowers. Unnoticed, they come and chant, "Jaya!"
. The whole world is filled with bliss. How many details of this pastime Narahari will not describe, will not describe because he has only one mouth?
